   Rob Cantrell's Comedian Bio
BioBased in Brooklyn, NY, Rob Cantrell’s comedy comes from his heart, as well as many other complex organs in his body. His act has an intelligent edge without being pretentious, hilariously unpredictable but always fluid. Rob’s comedic journey started as a wild-haired kid in the DC Public School System. He achieved nirvana at a young age when a bad babysitter let him watch Eddie Murphy’s first Stand-Up special "Delirious." He moved to a small town in Virginia, where a deep Southern flair and tobacco-chewing 6th graders added to the hilarity. Following a brief boarding school stint, remembered fondly by Rob as, "a lot like college, but with less drinking and more drugs." After graduating from Denison University with an English degree and a taste for great writing, Rob landed in San Francisco in 1999. He began performing stand-up in dive bars and Laundromats before landing solid gigs in top comedy clubs and performing with ’The Jazz Man Mega-Band of Power,’ a free-form sax/bass/kazoo comedy outfit. After only three years of performing, Rob auditioned for the first season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing and became a Top 10 Finalist, which led to touring the country and gigs at top notch venues. A high point was selling out the historic Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in 2003. In 2005, Rob relocated to Brooklyn, where he has been performing ever since. Rob has appeared on several major networks, including CBS, NBC and Comedy Central. His 2005 documentary/performance "Metaphysical Graffiti -A Road Movie" was screened at the Cannes Film Festival along side punk rock documentaries. His cannabis cult-like following has lead him to headline the 2006 High Times Comedy Festival in both SF and NYC, and tour with ’The Marijuana-logues’ in 2007, a live comedy show on pot culture. When not on the road, Rob can be found in New York City performing at the top clubs and improve theaters like Caroline’s, Comix and Upright Citizens Brigade. Rob Cantrell is complex to the point of being simple, and his background is diverse enough to resonate with just about everyone. More than anything, he is himself, and uses his life’s wide-ranging influences to push the boundariesof comedic creativity. For upcoming shows and more info, visit www.robcantrell.com.

Jul 15 2008 7:52 PM

Thank you for supporting the OneCareU.S. MySpace profile! Hope you will join us at our blog and pass along to your friends what we're all finding out about the concept of a Single-Payer National Health program. It's the difference between TRUE Universal Health Insurance and phony schemes for private insurance companies to continue business as usual.
If we want REAL healthcare reform then we all need to spread the word!



NEW Petitions:

Single-Payer HR 676 – National Health Insurance
Let them know you want Healthcare-NOW!

and

(people in CA sign both!)

PLEASE FORWARD PETITIONS AND HELP US REACH OUR GOAL
Single-Payer for Healthcare Now!
Every Single Person, Take One Single Action, Every Single Day, for SINGLE-PAYER
for
HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!





“Of all forms of inequity, injustice in health care is the most shocking and the most inhumane.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
